    Lol, people on Lemmy thinking they’re not on the spectrum.

    Just because you think something is normal doesn’t make it normal. You’re strange. You’re here.

        That’s very true. But there’s also a pretty high correlation between neurodivergence (all kinds) and your Linux using, privacy focused, d&d playing, edm and metal listening, caffeine addicted, geeks.

        Not every rectangle is a square, but the front door to Lemmy sure is pretty square shaped.

        Thank you. Some people are just weird. It’s not a sign of anything other than that. Not everyone fits in a box, and that doesn’t mean they’re suffering from any kind of disorder or syndrome or any other kind of thing.

        But an awful lot of people listen to songs hundreds even thousands of times. That’s totally normal. It just means you like it.

      This is pretty rude to be honest and I can’t believe rhetoric like this gets voted up.

      This trivializes all parties, steers people in wrong directions and generally is just actual unwarranted or wanted, fake medical advice.

        Sorry, I have trouble identifying when I’m being rude. To me it just seems like obvious pattern matching.

        It’s hardly trivial though. It’s not like I’m sitting here undiagnosed and spouting nonsense. This is my life. And it’s not hard to see myself in many other people here.

        It gets upvoted because those people feel seen and represented. Which is nice for once. To be welcome someplace as a person and not infantalized or shunned.

        And yes, if I start giving medical advice please call me out. But this ain’t that.
